Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the same chewing function as that of the natural root of a tooth by implant by a method wherein a living body inactive material is disposed to a part, making contact with jaw bones such that pores with which porous quality is creased are formed, and the bores are filled with a living body active material so as to prevent from making contact with the jaw bones. CONSTITUTION:A core 2 having a hole 2A into which upper structure of the root of a tooth is securely inserted is situated to the central part of an artificial root of a tooth 1, and titanium, a cobalt chrome alloy are listed as the material of the core 2. A living body active material 3 positioned to the outer surroundings of the core 2 in a manner to cover the core 2 therewith has living body affinity and is a material having strength strong enough for the artificial root of a tooth. Hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, living body active glass, and a ceramic material are used for the material. A living body inactive material 4 making contact with jaw bones is arranged to the outer surroundings of the living body active material 3 so as to have a plurality of pores communicated with the living body active material 3. A ceramic material, e.g. alumina, zirconia, carbon, is used for the living body inactive material 4.

<Conventional Technology> With the development of artificial materials, a wide variety of biological materials have been developed. The same goes for dental materials,
Materials for artificial tooth roots: 1. For example, cobalt-chromium alloy,
It is known to use metal materials such as titanium, and ceramic materials such as hydroxyapatite, alumina, crystallized glass, and carbon. In developing the artificial tooth root,
It is important to firmly anchor the tooth root to the jawbone. Conventionally, for example, artificial tooth roots using metal (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 53-28

However, when using a metal material or alumina that does not directly bond with bone as an artificial tooth root, the artificial tooth root should be mechanically fixed to the jawbone in a shape that can be expected to have an anchoring effect. It has the disadvantage that it is not able to withstand long-term use because it is subject to an abnormal load and may cause bone resorption. Furthermore, when hydroxyapatite or crystallized glass, which is thought to bond directly with bone, is used as an artificial tooth root, it is necessary to add a cushioning material to the artificial tooth root to prevent impact on the jawbone during occlusion. Therefore, there is a drawback that the deteriorated cushioning material must be replaced frequently.

A bioinert material 4 is provided with pores that are between 1 and 50 JLm and/or between 300 and 1000 μm. The pores may be formed by adding a resin that disappears when heated or a compound such as naphthalene that can be thermally decomposed when molding the calendar constituting the bioinert material 4, and heating and baking. I can do it. At this time, the method for forming the pores is not particularly limited as long as pores having a diameter within the above range are formed. The pores 5 provided by the method make the outer surface of the artificial tooth root porous, and the bioactive material 3 and the outer surface of the artificial tooth root are porous.
That is, it communicates with the jawbone, and the bioactive material 3
A bioinert material 4 having pores 5 is arranged so as not to directly contact the jawbone.

Since the artificial tooth root of the present invention has pores 5 forming a porous layer on the surface in contact with the jawbone, fibrous tissue invades into the pores 5 by implantation, and the bioactive material 3 enters the inside of the pores 5. Due to the presence of pores, ossification occurs within the pores 5 to form cementum tissue. Therefore, the pores 5 in which the fibrous tissue and the cementum tissue are formed can be held in the jawbone so as to have a mechanism substantially equivalent to that of the periodontal ligament in a natural tooth root. As mentioned above, the diameter of the surface portion of the pore 5, that is, the diameter of the entrance of the pore 5 in contact with the jawbone, is preferably in the range of 1 to 50 μm and/or 300 to 1000 μm, particularly 5 to 30 μm. preferable. At this time, if the diameter is outside the above range, when the artificial tooth root of the present invention is implanted, there is a risk that the fibrous tissue will not enter into the pores 5, and ossification will occur in the communication part of the pores 5. This is undesirable because it does not provide the same cushioning effect and strength as natural tooth roots. In addition, when the diameter of the surface of the pore 5 is within the above range, the internal diameter of the pore 5 is larger than 5Qμm and less than 300μm in order to form a cementum tissue having the same strength as the periodontal ligament of a natural tooth root. Preferably, the range is within the range.

Furthermore, the bioinert material layer having pores is not limited to a continuous layer having communicating pores, but may be a spherical bioinert material 4A formed by sintering or the like, as shown in FIG. 3a. It's okay. A partially enlarged plan view of the artificial tooth root when the spherical bioinert material 4A is used is as shown in FIG. 3b, where 3A indicates the bioactive material, the bioinert material 4A is spherical, It can also be a layer.

As yet another example, FIG. 4a is a partially enlarged sectional view of an artificial tooth root in which a bioinert material 4B is provided instead of a bioactive material on the outside of the core material 2B, and FIG. 4b is a partially enlarged plan view. Shown below. The bioinert material 4B is provided around the outer side of the core material 2B, and has recesses that become pores 5B for forming porosity on the outside of the artificial tooth root, that is, on the side directly in contact with the jawbone. , the pores 5B are provided toward the inside of the artificial tooth root. The diameter of the surface portion of the pore 5B and the internal diameter are preferably in the same range as the pores of the artificial tooth root shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b.

The inner surface of the recess, that is, the pore 5B is filled with bioactive material 4B.
is provided so as not to be in direct contact with the jawbone, so by implanting one artificial tooth root as in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2a and 3a, fibrous tissue invades into the pores 5B. In addition, ossification can occur within the pores 5B to form a cementum tissue, and therefore, the same effect as the periodontal ligament of a natural tooth root can be expected.

<Effects of the Invention> In the artificial tooth root of the present invention, a bioinert material is arranged so as to provide pores forming porosity in the part that contacts the jawbone,
Since the bioactive material is placed within the pores so as not to be in direct contact with the jawbone, the artificial tooth root can be implanted into the jawbone so that it has the same mechanism and strength as the periodontal ligament of a natural tooth root when implanted. . Therefore, the load on the jawbone during mastication can be alleviated without using a cushioning material or the like, so that it can remain stably in the jawbone for a long period of time. Also, maintenance after implantation is easy.
